Do you guys remember the movie Labyrinth? Seriously one of my all-time favorite movies. I think I saw it a billion times as a kid, and to this day I still get excited about watching it. You can't beat David Bowie in tights and dancing puppet creatures (even though the red puppets that took their heads off still scare me). I hope you guys know what I'm talking about so you don't think I'm crazy!

So, why am I talking about labyrinths? Well, I saw these wonderful photos of the 10 Most Incredible Mazes and Labyrinths on Inspire Me, Now and got very excited. Not only did it fuel my childhood movie obsession, but the beauty and complexity of each maze is amazing. I would be ok with getting lost in these...maybe even David Bowie will come find me **hehe**

Oh, one of my all-time favourites too! A somewhat bizarre rite of passage story isn't it? But, as you say, who can resist David Bowie, a cute baby, a cast of fantasy creatures, and a labyrinth?! Excellent stuff...Very cool photographs - thank you! :)

You are now reading the comment of a sad Labyrinth addict! When we were kids we would continuously borrow it from the video shop until Mum finally bought us a copy.... and now as an adult I own the collectors DVD AND the soundtrack to sing to in the car on long drives .... I so should not have admitted all that! Oh well....

Love those pictures though - fascinating to see them from the birds eye view xx

Would you believe me if I told you I used to work for a crazy woman who looked EXACTLY like David Bowie in this movie? I did! Anyway, yes! I love Labyrinth and I also have a bit of an obsession with super manicured, surreal looking gardens, mazes, and the like. There's just something about a tree shaped like a cone. So I love this link! Thank you!

I love these images. My older son went to a preschool adjacent to a large cathedral, and once a year they set up a big labyrinth. I believe that walking through a labyrinth is an ancient form of meditation.

GREAT pictures!! Last summer, my husband and I walked a Labyrinth that some church friends created along Lake Michigan. Since then, we've been chatting about making one in our church's garden. It is such a relaxing activity.

These are great, especially the bottom one, those shrubs look so soft! Years ago, I remember walking through one somewhere in France, and around where I live they plow giant mazes in the corn fields each year.
